Partner Yoga Playshop

Join us at my next Partner Yoga Playshop!
Sunday, May 6th
4:00pm - 6:00pm
Highland Yoga, Butler, NJ

We all want to have fun, to be loved, and to feel deeply connected to each other and ourselves. Come to connect in the spirit of fun, love, light, and compassion. All good medicine for this lifetime. Come to be yourself and see yourself in the other. Together we can achieve and experience so much more - not just in our asana, also in our hearts and in our life. We will explore active and meditative partner poses, deepening of poses with guided partner adjustments, and group balancing.

"Relationship is not performance art and neither is Contact Yoga, even though the poses can be quite beautiful. Let go of the preconceived notions about performing- doing the poses perfectly or being the perfect partner. Don't worry if you aren't flexible enough, strong enough, or do not have a perfect body. These postures are more about connection than perfection, more about exploration than expectation." - Tara Lynda Guber, Contact Yoga

Bring one of your sweethearts: your spouse, partner, friend, sibling, or teen/ adult child. 

Investment: $25 per person if you preregister by April 29th, $30 thereafter
You can pre-register online at www.highlandyoga.com or at the studio.

Beyond Fear, Into Freedom: A Kirtan

I’m excited to announce my next Kirtan at Naturally Yoga in Glen Rock, NJ, Sunday, April 29th, 4-6pm. 

We experience freedom, our true nature which is eternal, powerful, radiating energy and light, when we practice mantra, mudra, asana, meditation. To move through and beyond fear, we need to remember, call upon, take refuge in, and utilize this divine energy and light in order to embrace and thereby transform our limiting beliefs and our stuck emotions which can manifest as physical pain and dis-ease. When we are able to care for and resolve these conditions back to pure universal energy, we ultimately feel sustained and protected, and we are able to project our light and power to make a beautiful contribution to the collective consciousness through this lifetime. 

To embody and feel this energy and power of love, devotion, and service, our mantas for the afternoon will include The Hanuman Chalisa. In addition to chanting mantra with the accompaniment of harmonium, we will utilize mudras and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping, and readings from Danna Fauld’s Breath of Joy, Matt Kahn’s Whatever Arises Love That and Krishna Das’ Flow of Grace, to create meditative, healing and blissful states.

Please email jen@naturallyyoga.com to register today!

Investment: $30

We will be chanting Girish's version of the Hanuman Chalisa from his CD Daily Chants for a Radiant Spirit.  If you want to try chanting the whole thing along with me, start practicing now.  You can find lyrics at online link or in many books on The Hanuman Chalisa.   

Understanding Fear and Choosing Freedom: Don't allow fear to "drive your car" A yoga and more workshop

I'm so excited about my upcoming workshop...

Understanding Fear and Choosing Freedom. Don't allow fear to drive your car. 

A yoga and more workshop with me at Naturally Yoga in Glen Rock, NJ.
